[xwiki-users] [Vote] Move the 'paste office content' feature from the import menu to the tool bar?
Hi, Currently the Import menu of the WYSIWYG editor has two entries: * 'Office Document' for importing office files * 'Office Content (Copy / Paste)' for pasting rich text (copied usually from office documents) We had a few complains from uses that were pasting the rich text directly in the edited document causing the editor to misbehave or getting unexpected content after save. When they were told to use the 'Office Content (Copy / Paste)' entry from the Import menu they seemed surprised Ideally the editor should catch the paste event and clean the pasted rich text on the fly before it is inserted in the edited document but currently there's no clean way to do this: access to the clipboard is restricted for security reasons and the paste event is not well supported in all major browsers. I recently committed a change to the WYSIWYG editor to allow putting any of the Import menu entries on the tool bar. (1) Should we enable the 'Office Content (Copy / Paste)' button on the tool bar by default in the standard XE distribution? (2) Should we remove the 'Office Content (Copy / Paste)' entry from the Import menu? I'm +1 for (1) and -0 for (2) because the Import menu would look awkward with just one entry. Note that it's not unusual to have a feature both in the menu and in the tool bar. Thanks, Marius

+1 since it's way too hidden in the import menu and not logical for the majority of users.
(2) Should we remove the 'Office Content (Copy / Paste)' entry from the Import menu?
+1 for me especially in view of (1) (ie people don't expect paste to be an import). I don't have a problem with a single menu entry (note that the Image menu also has a single entry....). Thanks -Vincent

+1 too.

+1, I agree with Vincent, and me might have other types of import in the future (who knows?). Guillaume
Thanks -Vincent
